Tyre Handling Workshop – Last Chance to Attend

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the National Tyre Distribution Association host the last Tyre Handling Workshop in Manchester on 23 September 09.

The workshop will provide information on everything you need to know about health and safety in the sector and will be held at the Hilton Hotel, Deansgate, Manchester on 23 September 2009 starting at 12:30 with a buffet lunch.

These workshops have been well received by local authority enforcement officers and by the industry and there are only limited places left.   The workshops are open to tyre retailers, manufacturers, tyre recovery companies and anyone involved in the transportation of all sizes of tyres.  Local authority inspectors are also invited and the events may attract CPD points.  Everyone will receive a certificate of attendance.

Moving and fitting tyres involves a lot of manual handling.  Back and other muscular injuries are common.  The cost to employers is considerable and, of course, the physical cost to workers can be painful and long-term.
